In the project for tunneling the "Great
Divide" or the Rocky Mountains, the
point proposed to be tunneled Is under
Gray's Peak, which rises no less than
II, AL feet above the level Of the sea.
At 4,4ii feet below the peak, by tunnel
ing from east TO west for $4,000 feet,
direct communication would be opened
between the valleys Of the Atlantic slope
and those Of the Pacific side. This
would shorten the distance between Den
yer. in Colombo, and Salt Lake City, in
Utah, and consequently the distance be-
tween the Missouri River, say at st.
LOUIS, and San Francisco 800 miles;
and there would be little more required
in the way Of ascending or descending
or tunneling mountains. Part Of the
work has already been accomplished.

seven are below 10000, while FIVE are up

FARM AND GARDEN.
Roses IN tho Garden.

Like nearly all other plants, roses de-
light in deep, rich, well drained land,
says Peter Henderson in the Aaericaa
Agricultwist. When bed of Hybrid
Perpetual Roses is to be planted, thesoil
should be dug to the depth of at least
one foot, and we'll mixed with coating
of two or three inches of rotten cow
manure. In the, absence of that, sow
bone dust on the surface just enough to
cover it, and mix to the depth of foot
with the soil, II Hybrid Perpetual Roses
are to be set oat in a permanent bed,
plant from eighteen to twenty inches
each way; if Hybrid Teas plant fourteen
to sixteen inches, and if Monthlies or
Teas about twelve inches The Hybrid
Perpetual and Tea Roses require to be
prnned, like any other hardy shrub. Cut
the young wood any time after the leaves
have dropped, back to two or five eyes,
regulating it according to thestrength of
the shoot, the weaker shoots being cut to
two or three eyes, the stronger to four or
five, shaping the bush so as to get it in
good form. The Monthly or Tea Roses
require but little pruning, except to thin
out the ''blindn or old wood, or topping
by pinehing out the center of any shoot
that is growing too luxuriantly, SO as to
keep the plant in good shape. =

Hints on Butter Making.

Mr. c. Moxley, Of Vermont, recently
declared in the Homestead that to make
good butter the milk must be kept clean
as possible while milking, and a good
strainer should be used, TO take out what
little dirt may drop in. The cows should
be saltcd often and kept healthy and
well fed. Set the milk in as cool d place

cilities TO warm il in the cold season
when needed. II does not matter 50

Useful Hints.

All salted provisions must be kept
under the brine.
Blueberry stains may be removed from
table linen by putting the part stained
into boiling water.
The white of an egg, with a little
water and sugar, is good for children
with an irritable stomach. E.
Bar soap, when first bought, should be
cut in square pieces and put in a dry
place. 1t lasts better after shrinking.
When the knives and folks are stained
with egg scour them with common table
salt. Medicine stains can be removed
from spoons in the same manner.
To cut glass jar, fill it with lard OF
to where you want TO cut the jar; then
heat an iron rod or bar to red heat; inn
merse il in the oil. The unequal expal-
sionwill crack the jar all around at the
surface Of the oil, and you can lift of the
top part. 49,, 80
Little cleayers o. broad headed tacks
easily removed are the best for putting
down mating. They simply catch the
two edges together, holding them firmly
in place, and can be much more easily
removed than the common carpet tack
and without injury to the selvedge Of
the mating.
Castor oil is highly recommended for
softening and preserving shoes. Applied
AZ night about once a month IL allows
polishing in the usual way the next morn
ing, and keeps the leather in good con-
dition. One who has tried il for years
says his shoes last nearly twice as long
since he began the practice, and they re-
ceive higher polish.

Wide Tired Wagons.

Mr.. w. 4. Armstrong reports the Ell.
mira On. " Farmers Club as regarding
wide tires for many purposes greatly 81
perior TO the narrow ones in common use.
'.Mr. Hoffman changed the wheels of a
farm wagon from marrow to broad and
found gain, especially in driving over
meadows or soft ground, as for instance
IN drawing out manure. In this work he
employed wagon with narrow tires and
found il necessary TO seek q new place
after two or three passages, but in alter
mating with two wagons, one having
wide tires, he could continue in the
same track day or two with less harm
than would result from the narrow tires
alone in passing two or three times.
Similar commentator Of wide tires was
given by nearly all the farmers present,
some OF them having made practical
trial, Others speaking from observation
extended over considerable time and
many uses. As to the question Of in.
creased draft claimed by some persons, il
was not in accord with opinions formed
by these farmers. who reasoned that in
many cases draft Is considerably lessened
by wide tires; as, for instance, in draw
ing heavy loads over soft ground, If tires
are narrow wheels cut in, making con.
slant obstruction in front, whereas wide
tires go over without sinking, and neces.
sarily with less draft. Il was plain that
wide tires for farm wagons we're greatly
preferred, and there was evea earnest
eommendatiOn Of a proposed law consid.
cred a few years ago imposing penalties
upon all users Of wagons having narrow
tires on public highways.

Measuring Hay by Bulk.

Every season come inquiries as to the
most accurate mode of measuring hay
in bulk, and every season come also, from
correspondents in different sections of
the country, rules for measurement, vary
ing in one or more particulars. Now,
the long and short of the matter is just
this: So many things have to be taken
into consideration in calculating the
weight of hay in bulk ii makes it difficult
10 ascertain it precisely. For instance,
fine new-mown hay, like red-top or herds
grass, would probably not require quite
900 cubic feet for the ton; timothy alone
requires about $50; clover, $50; coarse
meadow hay, 700 or more. After being
stacked about a month the bulk would
be decreased from to 10 per cent.
Again. hay will vary somewhat in
measurement according to the time it is
cut. @ 81
The Government standard for ton of
hay is II feet; this gives 4a2 cubic feet.
To find the number of cubic feet in a
stack, multiply the area of the base by
one-third the perpendicular height. An
estimate very generally accepted is that
25 cubic yards of common meadow hay
In the windrow compose q ton, and 10
cubic yards of baled or pressed hay the
same weight. A truss Of new hay, &C
cording to the same estimate, is so
pounds; of old hay, Sc pounds; load
of hay, SO trusses; bale, 800 pounds.
A truss Of strawois 40 pounds.
A common rule for finding the number
of cubic feet in a NOW consists in multi
plying the length, width and depth
together. Five hundred cubic feet of
ordinary clover and timothy hay, packed
under ordinary circumstances, viii make
